Cornell Cooperative Extension to Demo New AgXRP Tech for Educators June 24

Saratoga County’s Cornell Cooperative Extension is pleased to invite K–12 classroom educators to an engaging and informative demonstration of AgXRP—an innovative agricultural technology platform designed to bring real-world STEM learning into the classroom.

Led by Surabhi Bachhav of Cornell University, this hands-on session will introduce educators to AgXRP, an open-source, autonomous platform developed to help students explore automation, robotics, and precision agriculture. The AgXRP system includes curriculum resources and building instructions that allow for seamless integration into classroom instruction, supporting both STEM and agricultural education standards.

Whether you teach science, technology, engineering, agriculture, or are simply interested in introducing cutting-edge tools to your students, this event will equip you with the knowledge and resources to start using AgXRP immediately.

Attendees will also be entered into a raffle to win one of two complete AgXRP kits—ready to bring back to your classroom and begin using with students right away. Choose to attend in person or virtually:
